HCB Chapter 1188 Break it for me!
Chapter 1188 Break it for me!
His sarcastic remark eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.
Elizabeth looked at his face, which, though tired, was still full of confidence.
The heart that had been in my throat miraculously calmed down.
She knew that this man could definitely create a miracle!
"I'm going to start now." Lin Zhen didn't waste any more words.
He took a deep breath and once again, for the last time, gathered all his pent-up inner strength into his fingertips!
Then, the gold wire probe in his hand suddenly trembled!
"Om-"
A faint, energy resonance sound, barely audible to him, suddenly rang out!
Next!
The core energy source, the size of a grain of rice, began to vibrate rapidly at an extremely strange frequency under the precise stimulation of the probe!
The black crystal on Elizabeth's wrist, which had been shimmering with an eerie red light, seemed to sense something at this moment.
Suddenly, it started flashing violently!
A brilliant red light shone forth!
A terrifying energy, filled with the aura of destruction and death, began to gather frantically inside the crystal!
not good!
Lin Zhen's heart sank!
He knew that this was the final backlash from the core energy source before it was destroyed!
This is also a sign that the self-destruct program of the entire "Devil's Contract" has been activated!
He only had less than half a breath left!
Once this time has elapsed, the terrifying energy that has gathered will completely spiral out of control!
At that time, not only Elizabeth, but he himself and the entire workshop will be blown to ashes in an instant!
Life and death are separated by a single thought!
A terrifying, chilling killing intent instantly flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes!
He no longer hesitated!
At this moment, he unleashed his mental and willpower, which had already surpassed human limits, to the extreme!
"Break for me!!!"
He let out a silent roar from the depths of his soul!
Under his extreme control, that thin, golden probe transformed into a golden lightning bolt that defies description!
With a divine speed that transcends time, space, and causality!
It pierced the very center of the core energy source, which was vibrating wildly!
"Crack!"
A sharp, shattering sound, seemingly from another dimension, suddenly rang out!
That core energy source, the size of a grain of rice, was completely pierced through from the inside by Lin Zhen's probe in that instant! Shattered!
And as it shattered.
The black crystal, which had been glowing brightly red and was about to explode, now looked like a rooster with its neck being choked.
All the light went out in that instant!
Then, like a lifeless rock, it snapped off the black bracelet.
It fell onto the cold workbench.
It worked!
He succeeded again!
However, just as Lin Zhen's heart, which had been stretched to its limit, was about to relax,
A backlash more powerful than ever before surged from his fingertips!
"puff--"
Lin Zhen felt a sweet taste in his throat, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
His whole body seemed to have all its bones removed; his body went limp, and he fell straight backward...
......
"Your Highness!"
Elizabeth was terrified by this sudden turn of events!
Without a second thought, she rushed forward and used her delicate yet supple body to catch Lin Zhen's swaying, tall frame.
"Your Highness! How are you?!" Her voice was filled with undisguised panic and fear.
She could feel that the man in her arms was as cold as a block of ancient ice, without a trace of warmth.
His breathing became extremely weak, as if it could stop completely at any moment.
His face was so pale, like a sheet of transparent paper, without a trace of blood.
That handsome face, which always carried a hint of languor and unruliness, was now filled with heartbreaking weariness and weakness.
Elizabeth's heart felt as if it had been ripped open by an invisible hand, the pain so intense she could hardly breathe.
She knew the enormous price this man had paid to save her.
He practically traded his own life for hers!
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
"Imperial Physician! Send the message to the Imperial Physician quickly!"
She could no longer control herself and screamed wildly at the outside of the workshop in a voice that was almost a roar and trembling with sobs.
……
When Murong Yan received the news, she stumbled and rushed into the workshop.
What they saw was Lin Zhen lying unconscious on the bed, while Imperial Physician Zhang and several other imperial physicians were sweating profusely, surrounding him, some administering acupuncture, others feeding him medicine, all working up a flurry of activity.
Her mind went completely blank with a "boom".
She felt as if her entire world had collapsed in that instant.
"Hu... Husband..."
Her voice was trembling, and her body swayed as if she were about to collapse to the ground.
Fortunately, the ghostly figure that had been guarding her caught her with lightning speed.
"Your Majesty! Please...please don't worry! The Prince...he's a lucky man, he'll be alright!" Ghost Shadow's voice was also filled with deep worry and hoarseness.
Murong Yan ignored him.
She pushed aside the ghostly figure and, step by step, like a walking corpse, walked to Lin Zhen's bedside.
She looked at the man on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale, as if he had lost all signs of life.
Tears, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly blurred her vision.
She reached out her hand, which was also cold and trembling with worry, and gently stroked his face, which she loved to the core.
"Husband..."
"Wake up..."
"Didn't you promise me you'd come back safely?"
"Didn't you promise me that you would accompany me to see the small bridges and flowing water of Jiangnan, and the ebb and flow of the tides in the East China Sea?"
"Didn't you promise me that you would stay with me and watch our child grow up?"
"You liar..."
"Wake up, please..."
She buried her face in his chest and wept bitterly, her cries heart-wrenching and devastating.
At this moment, she was no longer the high and mighty, decisive empress.
She was just a pitiful little woman who was about to lose her whole world.
The Phoenix Descent Dress she wore, her only nightgown, seemed to sense the boundless sorrow of its owner, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.
At this moment, the extremely dark black Suzhou brocade seemed to transform into a bottomless black abyss filled with despair and death.
They want to completely devour all the light and hope in this world.
The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to have lost all its vitality, its phoenix eyes filled with glistening tears and endless sorrow.
The five-zhang-long, dark gold Suzhou brocade trailing behind it lay scattered and piled up on the cold gold brick floor, like a shattered, black-gold dream shrouded in the shadow of death.
Amidst that opulent disarray, there was a heartbreaking despair.
